Italy Earthquake Halts Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini

A 5.8-magnitude earthquake that struck near Modena, Italy, this morning and an aftershock that followed around noon local time caused many businesses to shut down including exotic sports-car makers Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini. Ferrari said its factory and other operations didn’t sustain damage but closed as a precaution “for the safety of families and people getting to and from work.” A spokeswoman for Lamborghini, a unit of Volkswagen AG, said the quake’s epicenter was about 19 miles from the company factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
